\modulesynopsis{General floating point formatting functions.}
The \module{fpformat} module defines functions for dealing with
floating point numbers representations in 100\% pure
Python. \strong{Note:} This module is unneeded: everything here could
be done via the \code{\%} string interpolation operator.
The \module{fpformat} module defines the following functions and an
exception:
\begin{funcdesc}{fix}{x, digs}
Format \var{x} as \code{[-]ddd.ddd} with \var{digs} digits after the
point and at least one digit before.
If \code{\var{digs} <= 0}, the decimal point is suppressed.
\var{x} can be either a number or a string that looks like
one. \var{digs} is an integer.
Return value is a string.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{sci}{x, digs}
Format \var{x} as \code{[-]d.dddE[+-]ddd} with \var{digs} digits after the
point and exactly one digit before.
If \code{\var{digs} <= 0}, one digit is kept and the point is suppressed.
\var{x} can be either a real number, or a string that looks like
one. \var{digs} is an integer.
Return value is a string.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{excdesc}{NotANumber}
Exception raised when a string passed to \function{fix()} or
\function{sci()} as the \var{x} parameter does not look like a number.
This is a subclass of \exception{ValueError} when the standard
exceptions are strings. The exception value is the improperly
formatted string that caused the exception to be raised.
\end{excdesc}
Example:
\begin{verbatim}
>>> import fpformat
>>> fpformat.fix(1.23, 1)
'1.2'
\end{verbatim}
